Last updated on: October 8, 2013 at 9:57 am By Geoffrey Reiter

When I was a child and would visit my grandparents’ home, there was a shelf in one corner overloaded with back issues of National Geographic magazine. I would spend hours poring through those pages, drinking in the wonders of the world God had made. The esteemed National Geographic Society celebrates 125 years in existence this month, and you can find out more at their website, which includes some of the most renowned photos from their history.

ELSEWHERE: How Much Water Should You Drink?

Last updated on: October 8, 2013 at 7:31 am By Jewel Evans

Do you drink enough water throughout the day? The recommended 8 glasses of 8 ounces of water isn’t a hard and fast rule, but it’s easy to remember.

ELSEWHERE: Ross Douthat on Pope Francis and the Disappearing Middle

Last updated on: October 9, 2013 at 8:42 am By S. L. Whitesell

Ross Douthat, complementing recents posts from us and Russell Moore, provides a broader sociological perspective regarding the pope’s alleged moderating tendencies. In Western religions, liberal elements have withered while conservative congregations have continued to grow. The confessional middle, as we might call it, simply doesn’t hold. In an increasingly secular world, accommodative theologies are just pointless. Might as well join UNICEF or the United Way or the ACLU if your church is acting just like them.

ELSEWHERE: Reading Literary Fiction Develops Empathy

Last updated on: October 7, 2013 at 6:59 am By James Hoskins

The New York Times reports how a new study published in the journal Science found participants who read literary fiction scored better on empathy tests than participants who only read non-fiction, popular fiction, or nothing at all. It seems reading Dostoyevsky and Proust can help you understand the minds of others better than, say, Stephenie Meyer or Dan Brown. Who’da thunk? Read more

Here Is Some Dating Advice You Should Follow from New Girl

Last updated on: October 7, 2013 at 3:54 pm By Sammy Rhodes

"If you can figure out how to start dating your best friend, the idea seems really nice.
